    The way I've been reading things, IF your FC numbers are holding overnite, then the bleach has accomplished it's job at killing any algae blooms....The next step is looking at the metals issue...This is exactly the point I'm at today...Ive poured near 35 gallons of bleach in a 7500 gallon pool in the past 13 days and have seen NO CHANGE !!!....one of the gals suggested taking a Vitamin C tablet, place it in a sock, crush it with a hammer and rub the sock against the pool wall.....IF in fact the rubbing takes off a stain or lightens the vinyl (which you'll see pretty quickly) the problem is metals....

    I'm headed out within the hour to buy a Metal out product which I'm praying will help with this pool water....

    But try that Vit.C sock and see how you make out....it sounds as though we're both in the same boat...gotta love that well water !!!!
